17 Best Italian Restaurants near Germantown Hills

“I would recommend Michael’s to anyone looking for great Italian food. The food is great and the staff is extremely friendly. The restaurant has a great atmosphere.“

“I no longer even live in Illinois. But I always make it a point to go to a Michael's and get some subs, garlic bread, and some of their amazing cinnamon bread. You just don't find the bread density and sweetness anywhere else. That combined with pretty decent ingredients. Makes for something that I always seek every single time I make my way into Illinois again. Good deals and decent prices also definitely help. Everybody also loves their bucket of spaghetti which always comes out great and is always a good staple whenever we order the family feasts“

The food was very good cooked perfectly! the service was perfect as well very polite and checked in frequently to be sure everything was good and we had everything we needed. I will be back and recommend to all my friends! If I had 1 complaint I guess I'd say the prices but in reality you get what you pay for all around here. It's worth it to me!

Very soft very sweet and just all together I was highly satisfied with the service and how quickly they had our order ready. And it was easily accessible. Their pickup window was very quick, the girl was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going there again.“

“Long overdue Thank You to the amazing staff here!! My niece was in the hospital and she ONLY wanted LaGondola alfredo tortellini! It was just 10min before closing but they got it together with 2 free cookies! Made her night and helped her feel better for sure! I couldn't thank you enough! It was delicious! 😋 We both really appreciated it! Thank you for your kindness! ❤“

“RONNIE!!! Ronnie was my server tonight and he was the absolute best. I recommend coming to Monical’s on Knoxville, if you do ask for Ronnie, he’s the DUDE!“

“I may be a full-on Chicago tavern-pizza snob now, but nothing will ever beat the thin crust I grew up on at Monical’s. Still some of the best around and yes, the nuclear red dressing remains undefeated. If you know, you know. 🍕🔥“

“I placed an online order to picked up at 11:15. I drove up at 11:13–paid my bill…- little over $63.00. She asked me to pull over and they would bring it out…I waited over 30 MINUTES in 90degree temperatures for an order that had been ordered and PAID for —RIDICULOUS!!! Avantis needs to do BETTER…beyond disappointed!!!“
